A potent yet smooth cigar with a rich earthiness, touches of cocoa, spice, and an overall meatiness. Its rustic Mexican San Andres maduro wrapper cloaks a Nicaraguan binder and filler. Handmade in Nicaragua, at AJ Fernandez’s San Lotano factory. “El Pulpo” is Spanish for “the octopus.” And like its namesake, the El Pulpo by Artesano del Tobacco will envelop your palate with its rich complexity and unique retro-hale and never let you go. So, be sure to buy a box or two.
